From the above description it will be seen that the appearance of patchpockets can be attained without the use of additional cloth. Wh re largenumbers of garments are manufactured, as for example Army and Navyruniforms, the saving in material becomes very substantial.

The fact that a garment can be made so as to have the appearance ofhaving patch pockets and that it can be readily altered so as to'removethis effect is of great importance to the garment trade i as a retailercan then furnish the garment in either style without having to carry anadditional stock.

Having described the invention what is claimed as new is:

1. A garment having, anelongated opening forming the entrance to apocket, in which the l material on one side of theopening is formed intoa Z-shaped fold extending between the ends of the opening, the areaenclosed between the fold and the opening being of the size and shape ofan ordinary patch pocket patch, the three layers of the fold beingconnected by stitches the outer surfa'ce of the material enclosedbetween the opening and the fold being displaced outwardly by the foldat least twice its thickness whereby the appearance of a patch pocket"is obtained withoutthe use of any additional material.

a 2." An imitation patch pocket for garments comprising a substantiallyU"-shaped seam formed by folding portions of the. material outwardlyupon -itself to represent the sides and bottom of a 'jggpocket, the areaof the material defined by the ,seam being offset from the surface ofthe remainder-of the material outwardly with respect thereto, said seamincluding triple layers of material and comprising an inner layer, anintermediate layer and an outer layer, and stitching at least two ofsaid layers.
